The Simpsons: Every Crossover Episode Ranked - From Worst To Best

4. Family Guy

Simpsons Futurama Cross Over
Fox

The long-awaited crossover between Family Guy and The Simpsons (after a little bit of feuding in the early years) arrived in season twenty-six. Actually, more accurately, it arrived as part of Family Guy's most recent season aired - and the fact that it was a Family Guy episode was extremely clear from the get-go. Utilizing the cruder, edgier comedy of the Seth MacFarlane show, The Simpsons Guy didn't always hit the right note (for example, the "Chicken Fight" between Homer and Peter seemed to go a step too far - as angry as Homer can get, do you really see him as borderline murderous?).

It was, however, better than expected, and points for effort should be given, especially considering how different the two shows are in look and tone.

What was really learned from this crossover, however?

Well, that there's plenty of room in the animated sitcom universe for two animated families, and that really, a crossover like this probably shouldn't happen again.
